Well, that's what we are aiming to do with this comparison of the 2018 Kia Sportage vs the 2018 Mazda CX-5.

Now, nothing beats experiencing the vehicle in-person with a test drive, but you also probably don't have the time to spend test driving every single vehicle available. The Kia Sportage is one that you will definitely want to take for a spin, though, and you'll be glad you did thanks to its available 237-horsepower engine that pumps out an incredible 260 lb-ft of torque.

Differences Between the 2018 Sportage and 2018 CX-5

When it comes to interior space, things get a little bit more similar, even though the Sportage does have a slight edge in cargo space.

We also have to mention the warranty in this comparison. Kia has an incredible warranty that is tough to beat, and in fact, Mazda fails to beat it when comparing these two vehicles. With the 2018 Kia Sportage, you get a bumper-to-bumper warranty that lasts for 60 months or 60,000 miles... whichever comes first.
